AIO to my mom’s comment?

So for context, my mom, brother, and I are on vacation right now. We were at a mall when this happened and in the food court, so my brother and I ordered food (my mom didn’t want a meal and got a donut instead). We sat back down after ordering and my mom looks at me and says “we could get more done if you weren’t eating all the time” and then follows it up with “I mean both of you” after a few seconds (I made a face at her).

Another context, I’ve struggled with an eating disorder for almost ten years and I’m currently pregnant so I’ve been doing my best to eat to help my baby grow. She knows that I’ve struggled with this. I got diagnosed with an eating disorder over a year ago and the doctors told her about that diagnosis.

Also, I admit my one message might have been overreacting but that is how I felt, she made me feel fat by commenting on my eating.

Update: I spoke to her in person about fifteen minutes later and reiterated what I said, how she shouldn’t be commenting on anything food related, not to me or to anyone else because there’s no reason to. She simply stated “well I just commented on it because I don’t see how you could’ve been hungry again because it seems to me that we just ate and I’m still full”

So I’ve been working as an EMT at a hospital since July 2025, so less than a year. I will be finishing medic school in a week and hopefully getting my license shortly after. I will also be moving back to my hometown around July/August. My hometown is a little over an hour from where I work now.

I want to leave my current job for two reasons.

One: because there are opportunities closer to where I’ll be living. One hospital is hiring paramedics that is 5min from where I’ll be living and another hospital is hiring paramedics that is 25 minutes from where I live.

Two: I do not like the people who work at my job. I have run into several problems with them over little misunderstandings that could’ve easily been solved if they had come to me first instead of going over my head. And I dated a coworker (I know, it’s a terrible idea but what’s done is done) and I kind of just want a fresh start.

My question is, would it look bad to leave this job less than/close to a year after I started working to work somewhere else? Even if working somewhere else is more convenient for me?
